Dr. Jerome Groopman & Dr. Pamela Hartzband: On Making the Best Medical Decisions

Join The New Yorker's Dr. Jerome Groopman & Dr. Pamela Hartzband, both Harvard physicians and faculty, in conversation with Dr. David Feinberg, CEO of UCLA Hospitals and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine.

Wednesday, October 26th @ 7:30pm
Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, 300 North Clark Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

For years, we have read Jerome Groopman’s Medical Dispatch and Annals of Medicine in The New Yorker. He has shared stories about how he, as a Harvard oncologist, thinks as a doctor when diagnosing a patient. Dr. Groopman studies an issue of public relevance, and in his careful parsing and almost Talmudic discussion, leads us through the complex process of how medical professionals arrive at a medical conclusion. In Your Medical Mind, Dr. Groopman and his physician wife, Dr. Pamela Hartzband, turn the tables a bit, and have written a book that guides patients to arrive at medical decisions that make sense for them.
